Working with SEforALL and at the AFDB
ACCESS members have recently taken part in the SEforALL Forum and the African Development Bank Annual Meetings - advocating for policies and financing that support people living in poverty to have access to safe, reliable and affordable energy.
At the SEforALL Forum, members took part in a wide range of events, and we published a statement on the role of civil society in delivering energy access. It was fantastic that SEforALL supported 11 ACCESS members from national organisatons across Africa and Asia to participate in the forum. We look forward to continuing to work with SEforALL, particularly on their work on gender and inclusion.
The African Development Bank is a key advocacy target for many members of the network. The AFDB has made strong commitments to both universal energy access, and on increasing civil society engagement at all levels of their activities. As a network, we will be working with the Energy Team and the Civil Society Team, and well as supporting national members to engage with country offices and governments.
